Dr. Cécile Gaspard shares her conservation work on Tetiaroa, French Polynesia, where green sea turtles face threats from poaching, climate change, and invasive predators. She details the turtles' perilous life cycle—only one in 1,000 survives to reproduce—and explains nightly patrols to protect nesting females. With innovative monitoring, including temperature sensors, the project has achieved a 54% male hatchling ratio and increased nests from 10–15 to 1,400 annually. The video captures baby turtles hatching, migrating to the ocean, and adults returning to lay eggs, highlighting successful protection efforts. A powerful testament to dedicated conservation in the South Pacific.
